BloNewswire Services are Not a Cure-All. TNNW offers an opinion and a wrap-around enhancement.g title...
NEWS RELEASES: The most cost-effective way of immediately reaching a giant audience. Click on http://ping.fm/M4JdM
We do not simply offer you what PR Web and PR Newswire offer you...they are merely broadcast media, unless you request that they do a great deal more; then, watch your wallet! -- We are a full-service, full-focus operation.
We do it all...headline it, get it written, get it edited, stuff it with keywords and hyperlinks, submit it to the right geographical and vertical markets, track it, re-publish it, and more! We use those other newswire services as broadcasters, too (they have a tremendous market domination) - but we get to your target market with a surgical strike, and maximum MEANINGFUL exposure. We will not send out a useless raft of press releases which will either be ignored or unpublished. We get you published in the right places so that you get the optimal results. We do not "scattergun." We help you structure a meaningful thematic news release campaign, and we strike with precision.
Questions: If you have used Newswire services, what have your results been like? What have been the biggest problems? What did a single release (your most effective one) cost you, if you factor in the hours and wages and personnel involved? What do you look for in a TRUE News Release Service? What improvements would you like to see? Either answer directly, or email us at info@TheNationalNetworker.com

Newswire Services and Press Releases ? Be Better Informed
The most cost-effective way of immediately reaching a giant audience is through a well prepared and properly-submitted news release.
PR Web and PR Newswire are the industry’s dominant broadcast media, and they are powerful channels to a large potential audience. What many DIY entrepreneurs seem to consistently overlook is that regardless of which service you choose, that’s the least important part of the process.
To optimize your release you must headline it, get it written, get it edited, permeate it with keywords, hyperlinks and powerful quotes, give it third-party credibility in the submission process (i.e., so it doesn’t look like a typical self-serving “press release”) submit it to the right geographical and vertical markets, track it, re-publish it, and more.
The process is complex, but worth doing professionally. If you request that the two primary wire services do all of this for you, you will be overwhelmed at the real cost.
A good news release should be like a guided missle, and not like a fog ball. Also, any good release should be part of a broader campaign. Isolated releases are limited in their lasting effectiveness.
Get ready to change your vocabulary. Some new terms: newsworthiness, objectivity, “snaggable” quotes, traction, retention, longevity, echo, stickiness, conversion potential, cross-media conductivity, and others.
Questions: Assuming that there is a trade-off, which would you prefer – a tremendous number of “reads” of the release, or a large number of “hits” on your website, with a good conversion ratio? Are there times (and reasons why you’d want the opposite situation? Weigh in at http://ping.fm/thLf3 Your input will help The National Networker Companies to build a superior service.

The Power of News Releases and BUZZWORKS
Colleagues:
The best marketing investment? The News Release. The ROI is astounding. See
http://ping.fm/jgon0 for additional information. Marketing to online communities and media groups is indeed effective. BUT: The issue is that you are inherently limiting your exposure to either: 1) information seekers, 2) information exchangers and colleagues, or 3) a “closed circuit” environment. Most of these individuals are not truly prospective clients or customers.
When you launch a well-crafted, keyword-stuffed, optimized News Release, submitted through the proper channels in the best format, you have the potential to reach an audience of prospective clients, customers and referral sources of millions of readers. Doing it properly can catapult your company, its product (or service) and its brand instantly. It is the only way to really promote a product launch, informational webinar, program or a new book.
Do-it-yourselfers fail. They try to save a few dollars on an $80 “press release – it winds up actually costing hundreds more!. The cost to do it professionally and correctly: anywhere from $365.00 to $1,000.00. BUT: One release OPENS THE WORLD TO YOU. A series of releases (perhaps monthly) gets the world to COME TO YOU. http://ping.fm/eTL6H

Your actual commitment of time to TNNW for the write-up will be minimal, although we would like to interview you by telephone for one hour or so. We humbly believe that it would be worth your time.
Please simply click on this link in order to introduce yourself, and your group:

We look forward to hearing from you, and to learning about you! Thanks.
Jeff Schomay, of TNNW, tells us that if we eliminate informational clutter, we can increase our effectiveness.
Please give us your thoughts on this. Can less be more?
Clutter = Attention killer.
Look around. It’s the information overload age. We have more clutter in our lives than ever, attacking us from without and within. Like water or lightening, we humans will tend to follow the simplest and most direct path. Will that path lead to you… or away from you?
Just because you have lots of information to get across doesn’t mean you should put it all out there in front of your audience. The more there is to look at, the less the viewer sees. A simple, well organized presentation of your core information can catch, hold, and build attention better, and lead the viewer to a stronger, better directed response.
Everything can use some de-cluttering. How about the space around this article - is it cluttered? How does that affect you? How about your own newsletters, websites, blogs, advertisements, elevator pitches, package design, etc, etc? I bet you can cut half the clutter there and still get across all your important points. And I bet you get a stronger response too.
It sounds simple, but the impact is significant. Now go de-clutter! [See this article, with an hysterical picture of Jugglin’ Jeff, at http://ping.fm/nNoIF
Questions: How much information is enough? Is there a time focus or “magic number” of printed or spoken words that turns prospects off?

The Power of News Releases and BUZZWORKS
Colleagues:
The best marketing investment? The News Release. The ROI is astounding. See
http://ping.fm/DmWCZ for additional information. Marketing to online communities and media groups is indeed effective. BUT: The issue is that you are inherently limiting your exposure to either: 1) information seekers, 2) information exchangers and colleagues, or 3) a “closed circuit” environment. Most of these individuals are not truly prospective clients or customers.
Advertising is helpful, but there are the issues of targeting, production expense, audience size and, of course, credibility.
When you launch a well-crafted, keyword-stuffed, optimized News Release, and it is submitted through the proper channels in the best format, you have the potential to reach an “open circuit” audience of prospective clients, customers and referral sources of millions upon millions of readers. Doing it properly can catapult your company, its product (or service) and its brand instantly. It is the only way to really promote a product launch, informational webinar, program or a new book.
Do-it-yourselfers generally fail. They try to save a few dollars, and wind up with either negligible or negative results. A good release is powerful. The cost to do it professionally and correctly: anywhere from $365.00 to $1,000.00. One release OPENS THE WORLD TO YOU. A series of releases (perhaps monthly) gets the world to COME TO YOU. http://ping.fm/1eMya
p.s. “free” press releases are usually worth even less than what you pay for them (sarcasm intentional!) Get your subscription to TNNW: OK" http://ping.fm/rF2Hh

Then, there are others with very little to say who run off to some publishing-on-demand company with a manuscript (or a CD) of a book which they expect will sell well by the mere act of having it printed.

THIS MIGHT HURT...

The Absolute Necessity of Entrepreneurship
There is a saying amongst the late Johnny Cochran-styled personal physical trainers of the world; it is recited as mantra (and often given just as much original thought): "No pain, no gain."
Unquestionably, working the mind and working the body make them stronger, while ignoring them and taking them for granted leads to atrophy and an endless list (much of which is in Latin!) of potential psychological and physiological problems and vulnerabilities. When exercise is a requirement of our ordinary work or play, we do it without question, and it serves to keep us healthier. When our ordinary work or play makes no demands upon us to exercise, either by using our intellectual and analytical problem-solving skills, or by using the muscles of our bodies, we tend to view exercise as an option, or even as a chore. We lose our edge. Our survival skills decline. We become increasingly dependent upon mechanical transportation, large companies, generous bankers (with the exception of the late George Bailey of Bedford Falls, this has truly become a smirkworthy oxymoron), and big government.
The institutions upon which we had become pathetically, unimaginatively and unquestionably dependent upon have failed us. What is sadder still, is that we have allowed ourselves to let our skills atrophy to the point of incapacitating us. We, of the United States and many other industrialized nations were lulled off to a somnabulistic fantasyland by such prosaic propaganda as:
* You work hard, and you'll move up the ladder;
* You stay loyal to this company and you'll have a career for the rest of your life;
* Your pension will grow and grow until it can accommodate your comfortable retirement -- invest wisely in Blue Chip company shares, bank stocks and we'll even let you purchase shares in this company at a discount, too;
* Your home is like a savings bank, and your mortgage payments are just like a well-regimented savings plan;
* If a bank gives you credit, it's because they know that you're a good risk, and that you can afford to pay it off. After all, bankers are shrewd, intelligent people;
* Borrow and buy all the assets that you can, even if they won't service the debt...after all, they'll appreciate in value and you can always sell them at a nice profit -- perhaps on eBay, Craigslist, or in a yard sale. Besides, why postpone gratification when you can finance those things you haven't [technically] earned with borrowed funds? Don't worry, Bunky -- the boss is going to give you a raise;
* Good academic credentials and the right university pedigree will get you a great first job at a high rate of pay;
* Don't start a business (like your grandpa did with importing olive oil sixty years ago)... find a company that provides you with all of the benefits, play the right politics, make the right friends, and you'll get promoted to a directorship some day;
* If you are a veteran, an orphan, a single parent or a senior citizen, the government has programs to help you. Heck -- look at Medicaid and Social Security!
* Your health insurance will cover the cost of that chronic care treatment;
* Your bank will renew your credit line. After all, you've never defaulted;
* With all of those jobs at stake, the government will just have to bail that big company out;
* A good prosecutor like Elliot S. (I will not use last names, such as 'Spitzer', because hypocrites are entitled to at least as much privacy as ordinary sinners) will get rid of all that corruption and clean up government;
* Trust Bernie M. (I will not say 'Madoff' because I believe it's obvious) with your endowment fund -- everybody else raves about him. He's like an uncle to me!
* The cost to buy it doesn't matter, as long as you can cover that monthly payment; The Sales Representative at the BMW dealership said, "Golly, you can buy a lotta car if you can just squeeze out $100.00 more per month;
* Saddam has "evil weapons of mass destruction." (evil weapons are the worst kind, by the way). "We have proof that he's receiving shipments of yellow cake from Niger." [As it turned out, Saddam might not have been opening bakeries, but he wasn't actually importing fissionable 'nuke-u-lar' material either];
* There's always a "Greater Fool" to buy you out of anything. [In a tragic way, this turned out to be rather like the Twilight Zone version of a children's game of musical chairs, where the music suddenly stopped and all of the seats had mysteriously vanished -- perhaps the legendary "Greater Fool" was only pretending to be an inbred maloccluded doofus still dripping from the primordial swamp and waiting to be taken advantage of...maybe he stole all of the chairs and sold them to the U.S. military for several thousand dollars each in a lucrative sole-source contract secretly negotiated with some former Vice President...
The New York Times had some frightening news for those of us who had placed our trust in stability, continued growth, credit expansion, employers "too big to fail" and limitless prosperity:
Breaking News Alert---
The New York Times
Fri, October 02, 2009 -- 8:37 AM ET
-----
U.S. Economy Lost 263,000 Jobs in September; Jobless Rate Rises to 9.8%.
American employers cut 263,000 jobs last month, far more than
forecast, and the unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent from
9.7 percent in August, the Labor Department said.
More: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/03/business/economy/03jobs.html?hp=&pagewanted=all
Here are the reasons why our economy is suffering:
1. We became completely addicted to credit, and forgot about the notions of earning, cash flow and saving;
2. We stopped innovating and fostering new enterprises and starting talking about career paths instead of blueprints;
3. We trusted every aspect of our lives to large, faceless institutions, and stopped being self-reliant, inventive, skeptical and inquisitive;
4. The banks stopped lending to consumers and businesses, and no credit facilities were renewed or rolled over (some just played "dead");
5. We wasted our time writing "winning resumes" to almost-defunct, frightened and fiscally-tenuous employers instead of optimizing our use of our own resources to either render services or produce products. We expected to have strangers pay us salaries based upon their confidence in our ability to produce results for them. Sadly, many inveterate corporate ladder-climbers who were papering the city walls with their curriculum vitae had never had to contend with issues of problem-solving, production, leadership and project management -- they had only dealt within the realm of office or organizational politics. The old, reliable employers were in so much trouble that they were actually looking for employees who could actually help. Most of us had little of substance, little of utility, to offer.
The solution to this meltdown will not come from a near-term infusion of printed scrip, little tax rebates, cash for clunkers, stimulus checks, incentives to home-buyers, government "jobs creation", a wartime economy, or endless revelations, proclamations and trial and error experiments with the fate of an entire civilization at stake. This puzzle box pile of solutions has already drawn a growing halo of flies.
The solution is individual and not institutional. It requires innovation and not imitation. It requires working while we wait. It requires the acceptance of personal responsibility for finding ways through which each of us can provide value, in the form of goods or services, to another. It requires soul-searching, deep thinking and incremental work. It requires some calculated risk-taking. It requires confronting fear, and overcoming paralysis and inertia. It requires having something special to offer, and having the willingness to present yourself, and your proposition to the world. Thankfully, we have super-efficient and inexpensive social media, public relations and broadcasting technologies and platforms at our disposal -- but the ultimate factor is non-technological -- it is uniquely and solely Human .
A person standing on any platform without a message will simply be perceived as mute. The same person standing on the same platform with a weak message containing nothing special or of substance to offer will be perceived as a psychotic, a loiterer or a beggar. The person on the platform must have a message, and that message must contain clear and compelling content about something that other persons want or need.
If we are to survive, we must re-discover and re-energize entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship must be encultured and cultivated like a perfect pearl through education, mentoring, inducements, incentives and through plentiful support and sponsorship.
Entrepreneurship is the foundation upon which all prosperity is built. Every significant economic boom in recorded history has been preceeded by a surge in entrepreneurial activity. Do not expect big business or big government to fix what has been broken.
When you listen to business leaders and politicians, you do not hear the word "Entrepreneur". Some years ago there were tax credits, low-interest loans and grants for capital investments, jobs creation, energy savings, research and development, building of plants and factories... Remember junior achievement business organizations? Remember prizes for selling the greatest number of tickets? Remember science fairs and competitions? Billion-dollar businesses have been started in garages and basements.
The Human mind is an immeasurably powerful tool. It is put to its greatest economic use when it is engaged in entrepreneurship.
Faithfully, and In the Spirit of Entrepreneurship,
Douglas Castle

* Your home is like a savings bank, and your mortgage payments are just like a well-regimented savings plan;
* If a bank gives you credit, it's because they know that you're a good risk, and that you can afford to pay it off. After all, bankers are shrewd, intelligent people;
* Borrow and buy all the assets that you can, even if they won't service the debt...after all, they'll appreciate in value and you can always sell them at a nice profit -- perhaps on eBay, Craigslist, or in a yard sale. Besides, why postpone gratification when you can finance those things you haven't [technically] earned with borrowed funds? Don't worry, Bunky -- the boss is going to give you a raise;
* Good academic credentials and the right university pedigree will get you a great first job at a high rate of pay;
* Don't start a business (like your grandpa did with importing olive oil sixty years ago)... find a company that provides you with all of the benefits, play the right politics, make the right friends, and you'll get promoted to a directorship some day;
* If you are a veteran, an orphan, a single parent or a senior citizen, the government has programs to help you. Heck -- look at Medicaid and Social Security!
* Your health insurance will cover the cost of that chronic care treatment;
* Your bank will renew your credit line. After all, you've never defaulted;
* With all of those jobs at stake, the government will just have to bail that big company out;
* A good prosecutor like Elliot S. (I will not use last names, such as 'Spitzer', because hypocrites are entitled to at least as much privacy as ordinary sinners) will get rid of all that corruption and clean up government;
* Trust Bernie M. (I will not say 'Madoff' because I believe it's obvious) with your endowment fund -- everybody else raves about him. He's like an uncle to me!
* The cost to buy it doesn't matter, as long as you can cover that monthly payment; The Sales Representative at the BMW dealership said, "Golly, you can buy a lotta car if you can just squeeze out $100.00 more per month;
* Saddam has "evil weapons of mass destruction." (evil weapons are the worst kind, by the way). "We have proof that he's receiving shipments of yellow cake from Niger." [As it turned out, Saddam might not have been opening bakeries, but he wasn't actually importing fissionable 'nuke-u-lar' material either];
* There's always a "Greater Fool" to buy you out of anything. [In a tragic way, this turned out to be rather like the Twilight Zone version of a children's game of musical chairs, where the music suddenly stopped and all of the seats had mysteriously vanished -- perhaps the legendary "Greater Fool" was only pretending to be an inbred maloccluded doofus still dripping from the primordial swamp and waiting to be taken advantage of...maybe he stole all of the chairs and sold them to the U.S. military for several thousand dollars each in a lucrative sole-source contract secretly negotiated with some former Vice President...
The New York Times had some frightening news for those of us who had placed our trust in stability, continued growth, credit expansion, employers "too big to fail" and limitless prosperity:
Breaking News Alert---
The New York Times
Fri, October 02, 2009 -- 8:37 AM ET
-----
U.S. Economy Lost 263,000 Jobs in September; Jobless Rate Rises to 9.8%.
American employers cut 263,000 jobs last month, far more than
forecast, and the unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent from
9.7 percent in August, the Labor Department said.
More: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/03/business/economy/03jobs.html?hp=&pagewanted=all
Here are the reasons why our economy is suffering:
1. We became completely addicted to credit, and forgot about the notions of earning, cash flow and saving;
2. We stopped innovating and fostering new enterprises and starting talking about career paths instead of blueprints;
3. We trusted every aspect of our lives to large, faceless institutions, and stopped being self-reliant, inventive, skeptical and inquisitive;
4. The banks stopped lending to consumers and businesses, and no credit facilities were renewed or rolled over (some just played "dead");
5. We wasted our time writing "winning resumes" to almost-defunct, frightened and fiscally-tenuous employers instead of optimizing our use of our own resources to either render services or produce products. We expected to have strangers pay us salaries based upon their confidence in our ability to produce results for them. Sadly, many inveterate corporate ladder-climbers who were papering the city walls with their curriculum vitae had never had to contend with issues of problem-solving, production, leadership and project management -- they had only dealt within the realm of office or organizational politics. The old, reliable employers were in so much trouble that they were actually looking for employees who could actually help. Most of us had little of substance, little of utility, to offer.
The solution to this meltdown will not come from a near-term infusion of printed scrip, little tax rebates, cash for clunkers, stimulus checks, incentives to home-buyers, government "jobs creation", a wartime economy, or endless revelations, proclamations and trial and error experiments with the fate of an entire civilization at stake. This puzzle box pile of solutions has already drawn a growing halo of flies.
The solution is individual and not institutional. It requires innovation and not imitation. It requires working while we wait. It requires the acceptance of personal responsibility for finding ways through which each of us can provide value, in the form of goods or services, to another. It requires soul-searching, deep thinking and incremental work. It requires some calculated risk-taking. It requires confronting fear, and overcoming paralysis and inertia. It requires having something special to offer, and having the willingness to present yourself, and your proposition to the world. Thankfully, we have super-efficient and inexpensive social media, public relations and broadcasting technologies and platforms at our disposal -- but the ultimate factor is non-technological -- it is uniquely and solely Human .
A person standing on any platform without a message will simply be perceived as mute. The same person standing on the same platform with a weak message containing nothing special or of substance to offer will be perceived as a psychotic, a loiterer or a beggar. The person on the platform must have a message, and that message must contain clear and compelling content about something that other persons want or need.
If we are to survive, we must re-discover and re-energize entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship must be encultured and cultivated like a perfect pearl through education, mentoring, inducements, incentives and through plentiful support and sponsorship.
Entrepreneurship is the foundation upon which all prosperity is built. Every significant economic boom in recorded history has been preceeded by a surge in entrepreneurial activity. Do not expect big business or big government to fix what has been broken.
When you listen to business leaders and politicians, you do not hear the word "Entrepreneur". Some years ago there were tax credits, low-interest loans and grants for capital investments, jobs creation, energy savings, research and development, building of plants and factories... Remember junior achievement business organizations? Remember prizes for selling the greatest number of tickets? Remember science fairs and competitions? Billion-dollar businesses have been started in garages and basements.
The Human mind is an immeasurably powerful tool. It is put to its greatest economic use when it is engaged in entrepreneurship.
Faithfully, and In the Spirit of Entrepreneurship,
Douglas Castle
A Quick TNNW Survey about Surveys.
As a society, we are obsessed with the tastes, preferences, opinions and habits of others. We are fascinated with this crucial information. When survey results are published, everyone wants to see them. Survey results impact our business decisions.
*Too few of us realize that by creating and publishing our own carefully-targeted surveys we can actually create trends and behaviors in the manner of a self-fulfilling prophesy, i. e., "If everyone else is starting to buy these, we should buy 'em before the stores run out." Invariably, demand explodes and prices rise.
Please take a quick survey, answering each of the 5 questions with either a) often; b) sometimes, or c) hardly ever.
Please give us your valuable input. Simply click on: http://ping.fm/3dKak and take a moment (approximately 1.5 minutes) to complete the survey.
Results will be published soon.
Thanks…one and all.

It is every businessperson's obligation to either prepare for the future or to actively create it. http://twitlik.com/TNNWFuturist
It is every businessperson's obligation to either prepare for the future or to actively create it. http://ping.fm/YW6hh Some fascinating videos.
1. What are the principal sources of information and intelligence which you depend upon to prepare for the future of your business?
2. Which of these has proven reliable enough that you would recommend it to others?
3. Do you feel that you lose your competitive edge by sharing these informational sources with your colleagues in business or industry?
4. Have you tried (don't laugh) http://ping.fm/s0qeF ? If you have, have you found it helpful? If you haven't, please try it and let us know.
5. Do you believe it possible that survey results shape the future more than they actually predict it (the self-fulfilling prophesy effect)?
By the way, would you please help us out and take a super-quick (but highly-entertaining) survey at http://ping.fm/Y0XM4 ? It's quick, painless and fun.
Thank you for your feedback and participation.

The Power of A News Release
The best marketing investment? The News Release. The ROI is astounding. See
http://ping.fm/WoJSN for additional information. Marketing to online communities and media groups is indeed effective. The issue is that you are inherently limiting your exposure to either: 1) information seekers, 2) information exchangers and colleagues, or 3) a “closed circuit” environment. Most of these individuals are not truly prospective clients or customers.
Would you like to see an example? Visit our client’s blog at http://ping.fm/Xv7jM .
Advertising is helpful, but there are the issues of targeting, production expense, audience size and, of course, credibility.
When you launch a well-crafted, keyword-stuffed, optimized News Release, and it is submitted through the proper channels in the best format, you have the potential to reach an “open circuit” audience of prospective clients, customers and referral sources of millions upon millions of readers. Doing it properly can catapult your company, its product (or service) and its brand instantly. It is the only way to really promote an informational webinar, program or a new book.
Do-it-yourselfers generally fail. They try to save a few dollars, and wind up with either negligible or negative results. A good release is powerful. The cost to do it professionally and correctly: anywhere from $365.00 to $1,000.00. One release opens the world to you. A series of releases (perhaps monthly) gets the world to COME TO YOU.
http://ping.fm/lNvG0
p.s. “free” press releases are usually worth even less than what you pay for them (sarcasm intentional!)
